Northern Lights # 2

infecticide * Germination was successful * Leaves are curling upwards on some of the tips

infecticide * The first two leaves ended up somewhat malformed * Some burn marks on the leaves, likely nutrient burn * 3 and 4 are coming in and seem ok so far, good rate of growth

infecticide * Growth has taken off finally * Plant is now using a bit of the fertilizer each day and growing at a faster rate * Just a slight smell has begun

infecticide * Began LST with with wire * Bottom couple sets of leaves got pretty chewed up by nutrient burn * Wire was cutting into stem, removed wire but I may have broken the stem :-( * Growth seems to continue despite my screw up with the wire

infecticide * Discontinued LST last week as I injured the plant * Plant is consuming lots of nutrients since water change on Sunday

infecticide * Replaced air filter to keep the stank down * Plant is progressing well despite it's rough start to life * Plant used up all the nutrients in the water just before water change day * Flower pistils have emerged * Root growth has exploded

infecticide * Plant is using lots of nutrients, adding fertilizer daily to keep up * Water usage has increased * Day 51, plant used almost half of the nutrients put in during water change the day before

infecticide * Nutrient usage is through the roof, having to add daily to keep up * Lots of flower colas forming * Day 59, all nutrients were used up from water change 3 days earlier, full regiment of nutrients added

infecticide * TDS meter is on the fritz again, likely needs to be cleaned and calibrated * Grow is going well but some leaves have burns on them

infecticide * Ended week 9 lean so I could troubleshoot some leaf spotting and curling * Day 70, despite what the TDS meter reads, the water has very little color, flower stems elongated about an inch over night * Flowers look great, lots of them as well * Leaves have a lot of spots, some yellowing * Removing lid from DWC, smelled like sulfur, roots don't look particularly rotten but the pH was really low (3.98) a couple days ago for about a day * Turns out the EC/PPM should be constant within a range not set once at feeding when the water is changed

infecticide * Sulfur smell is still present when removing lid but the roots don't smell * Day 77 Pretty sure i've got some root rot going on, the sulfur smell was back quite strong and the ph had dropped from 6.00 to 4.00 in 24 hours * Day 78 I carefully picked any leaf material out of the roots, there was no sulfur smell today. The roots aren't slimy or brown so if there is rot it's quite minimal. There was also no nutrient uptake, water was changed. My guess would be that next week will be the ripen week. * Day 81, more and more leaves are turning yellow and dying back, I suspect next week or the week after will be the flush week before harvest

infecticide * Day 84 - Flush week * Day 85 - Decided to do one more week of fertilizer just to try and get the buds a little more mature * Day 86 - The stink is really ramping up * Day 89 - The stink is ramping up yet again

infecticide Day 92 - Flush week Day 95 - Things are looking ripe! Day 100 - Harvest
